How to study these cards
- Five boxes. Label five envelopes 1 to 5 and put every card in box 1.
- Picture side up. Say the Serbian word out loud, then flip. Right: the card moves up a box. Wrong: it goes back one box, not to the start.
- Spacing. Box 1 daily, box 2 every 3 days, box 3 weekly, box 4 every 16 days, box 5 every 35 days, close to the intervals the app uses.
- 12 new cards a day at most, one lesson. Hear each word above before you start.
